Nice to know about GC games in progressive scan on Wii though, since my Wii just shipped out, and 3rd party component cables are cheap, unlike GC with only the proprietary 1st party cable.
What? the swearing? sorry.
You say there are still some Dreamcast counsoles out here? I can't find any...
I know the easiest place to find one is the net, but that's out of the question.
Anyone who believes what they saw at Namco Central about ME is seriously far stupider than he/she looks...
I have both the GC and DC versions. Both using VGA. I have a DC VGA cable and an AV VGA box. I can't see any differences, but I prefer the GC version. I'd rather use a stick than a D-Pad.
good to bury old wrongs. i have the gc nstc jp version running trough the original gc component cable the pic is nice, sorry but as stated some years ago some people still seem to compare the game for both system with uncompareable setups, perhaps it could be said that the dc version can be played good looking cheaper, but thats it.

Damn Tim, you know there are quite a few Americans out there who still lives in tents due to this shitty economy, and you're dropping loads on a single game which only last 20 min. Do you think it's fair? How much did you spend this time?

Could have fooled me....

This. I don't get why people keep arguing over which version of Ikaruga is better when they all play the same anyway. Although the GameCube version is probably the only version without the texts between each chapter.
How does the PS4 version fare? It certainly looks nice.
I'm not an expert on all the little details that people know about. Except for that boss who had it's bullet pattern reversed in the XBLA version.

I heard it's based on the Steam version like the Switch port. I heard it's more accurate than the GCN and 360 versions, but has some new bugs like disappearing enemies in one section.
Essentially, yes. You can find a couple of references here and here (both contain a link to the Ikaruga net ranking website, dead a long time ago and apparently now replaced with a hilarious game description.. The overwhelming perfection of Ikaruga has a long history, it says.. ).

Also very good, is the conclusion :
The trial and error process is just an initial phase. I hope you will play this game until you have implemented your routine actions and fully experienced the rapture from natural narcotics secreted in your brain.
This could even be the ingame text of stage 4.
Bravo jolie Ln, tu as trouvé : l'armée de l'air c'est là où on peut te tenir par la main.
I agree with the couple people here that said , they cant tell the difference. I too, am one of those non tech savvy guys. Cant tell the difference between a few frames per second and how one version is slightly less blurry, things like that. BUT, I'm one of those guys that still think 16 bit games look beautiful, so what do I know.
